B you’ve got to be prepared to deal with an incredible barrage of rules and red tape M1: Food, we might say, is always on our minds! Here today in the studio we have nutritionists Fay Wells and George Fisher, who’ll be talking about methods of food cultivation and related issues that concern us all Fay, let’s kick off with the ‘hot potato’ of the day, genetically-modified foods F: Yes, you hear a lot of hype from certain quarters on this topic But let’s face it, public concern isn’t helped by the fact that the various scientific reports available seem to leave you none the wiser On the one hand, you’ve got a group that’s finding GM foods to be quite safe and actually applaud them as a way of dealing with food shortages in certain countries Then, there’s another view that condemns them as potentially dangerous to health and insufficiently trialled; whilst at the same time pointing out, quite reasonably by the way, that the use of GM crops hasn’t actually made a dramatic difference to levels of food production worldwide In my view, it’s high time that science spoke with one voice on this issue M1: So, George, are organic foods the safest option then? M2: Well, people are horrified to hear the level of herbicide and pesticide residues that remains in fruit and vegetables, even after they’ve been carefully washed, because they go straight into our system Organic foods are one way round that They don’t come cheap though, so it’s not currently an option for low-income groups, although that could come if mass production brings economies of scale And the residues retained in fruit and vegetables vary, so some are safer to buy non-organically than others It’s not an area that many consumers are clued up about, but there’s no excuse for that ‘cos there’s plenty of factual information available online The other aspect of eating organically, by the way, that people often forget about is meat-eating Many people prefer to buy organic meat since it doesn’t contain the amount of antibiotics and growth hormones that normal meat does M1: So what else is new on the food production front? M2: Well, there’s a movement afoot in the direction of something called ‘vertical farming.’ It’s an attempt, as the name suggests, to make use of vertical, mainly city-centre, space Architects have designed skyscrapers filled with orchards and fields that have the potential to produce crops all the year round! The only drawback, as things stand at the moment, would be the prohibitive cost of the artificial lighting required! I know the idea sounds a bit far-fetched – pie in the sky, we might say! – but it’s not impossible that this vision might become a reality one day Already, urban rooftop farming is being developed, plus some special greenhouses containing multiple racks of vegetables are in use in various parts of the world F: Another development, which sounds a bit spooky to me, is that of using nanotechnology in this area Basically we’re talking here about ‘atomicallymodified’ foods containing invisibly small additives Some nano-scale additives and pesticides are already on the market and this looks as if it might change the face of the large-scale food industry To me, it seems like it will confuse the picture even more as regards what we’re putting in our stomachs! What will be classified as ingredients? M2: Yes, you’re not wrong there I believe some dietary supplements are also being manufactured using nanotechnology Personally, I think that if people follow a reasonably healthy, well-balanced diet, they don’t really need to take extra vitamins – certainly not on a long-term basis, anyway M1: So where would you stand on all this, Fay? B: Actually, I’m just wondering whether people might not just react against all these developments and, to be on the safe side, go back to more traditional forms of selfsufficiency! I’m feeling quite tempted, myself, to go and buy a goat and a few chickens and start planting lots of vegetables! In fact, I’ve been doing some personal research into this area and I’ve picked up a few valuable ideas Like, if you set up a self-sufficient smallholding or farm, you’ve got to be prepared to deal with an incredible barrage of rules and red tape, and you’ve no choice but to toe the line Secondly, organic horticulture on a large scale needs quite a bit of investment Though, of course, you can simply concentrate your energies on cultivating enough crops for your own use Source PART 2: CPE expert T a lot of those visitors have simply been to a travelling exhibition hosted by those museums These are very well promoted and clearly draw in the crowds F great architecture generally enhances their importance in people’s eyes, F I have little sympathy with people who complain about them actually, art shouldn’t be for an elitist minority T Weirdly, most people went without actually having much idea of what they’d see when they got there T Emily: that doesn’t mean that I’d that in preference to an on-site visit Scott: Nothing, in my view, can replace the experience of standing in front of an object of antiquity or a work of art and seeing it with your own eyes M1 = Interviewer, M2 = Scott, F = Emily M1: Today I’m talking to two History of Art students, Emily Winters and Scott Vaughan, about the relevance of museums in today’s world So Emily, are museums on the wane? F: Hardly Yearly visitor figures such as five million for the Metropolitan in New York and twenty million for London’s National Gallery sound really impressive! But looking behind those figures, what they actually mean? Because a lot of those visitors have simply been to a travelling exhibition hosted by those museums These are very well promoted and clearly draw in the crowds What I’m trying to say is, I’d like to think that those figures tell us what they seem to be telling us – that people still want to visit museums per se, and for their permanent collections Given the diverse interests of people my age though, I’m not quite sure if I’m justified in thinking that M1: Museums buildings can, of course, be attractions in their own right, can’t they Scott? There’s the Louvre with its glass pyramid or the Milwaukee Art Museum … M2: Yeah, that fantastic Calatrava roof! Really worth seeing! And ever since the end of the eighteenth century, actually, museums have usually been housed in imposing buildings – part of the ethos I suppose – and I can understand that I don’t think it detracts from the value of the exhibits in any way – on the contrary, great architecture generally enhances their importance in people’s eyes, by providing a fitting backdrop, even if the period or style doesn’t match up exactly I don’t deny, though, that the exterior appearance of the building doesn’t guarantee that people are actually going to spend much time inside! M1: Certainly though, museums remain firmly on the tourist agenda Do you see group visits as a good or a bad thing? F: Let’s face it, we all it and I’ve been on some very good ones! But it’s a question of focus If it’s a case of ‘OK, been there, done that, now let’s move on to the next one’, then the value is questionable I guess But if groups are given time to really take in what they’re seeing, particularly if they’ve got a guide explaining stuff to them, what’s the harm in that? I have little sympathy with people who complain about them actually, art shouldn’t be for an elitist minority, and for many people the group visit’s a starting point Basically, if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle, then you just need to time your visit accordingly – that’s what I if I want to look at something without interruptions M1: So Scott, why people visit museums? M2: Well, as you know, this is the subject of my thesis, and I’ve been asking people exactly that question, using discussion groups No shortage of volunteers by the way, but rather inconclusive results Now, although some people profess a deep interest in Egyptian mythology or Ancient Greek artefacts or whatever, that comes up relatively rarely as a reason when you ask people What struck me was the number of people who saw it as a kind of duty: ‘Oh, that museum’s famous, so I must go and visit it’ Weirdly, most people went without actually having much idea of what they’d see when they got there But I guess you can see the fun in that! Unsurprisingly, lots of people see the visit as an entertainment option, on a par with the sights or a show, and this was equally true for local people and visitors from other cultures M1: Right Finally, then, how you both feel about virtual museums? F: Well, the tendency’s to assume that this sort of thing, accessed via the internet, will somehow replace the bricks and mortar variety I don’t go along with that view personally Much as I love browsing through the websites of various museums and art galleries and thereby seeing stuff that I’d be unlikely to get to see in person, that doesn’t mean that I’d that in preference to an onsite visit And I think that goes for most people, not just art students like us M2: Nothing, in my view, can replace the experience of standing in front of an object of antiquity or a work of art and seeing it with your own eyes Apart from that, I could happily spend hours looking at paintings on my computer screen at home, much as I used to with books But the one doesn’t negate the other, does it? M1: Well, there we must leave it Thank you both Source part 3: ielts part 3: Cambridge ielts practice test Professor: Good morning, Klara Take a seat Right, I’ve read your first draft of your project on housing Well done Klara: Thank you I know it’s only a first draft though, so I’m sure you have some suggestions on how it can be improved I was very nervous at first, because it wasn’t my first choice of topic I had wanted to something on voting patterns, but getting information … well, it didn’t look possible within the time frame Professor: Don’t worry I think that you have made a good choice Yes, a comparison of the factors influencing housing prices Very topical! Klara: Definitely! There seems to be something about prices in the newspapers every day I just wanted to compare the different factors- you know, location, the proximity of facilities such as schools… Professor: As I said, a good choice of topic Now, the first part is very well done You clearly what you are going to look at, why and how Klara: Do you think that I have covered enough points there? Professor: I think so Did you have anything else in mind – you know, something else you’d like to cover? Klara: Well, a friend suggested that I might include crime rates Professor: Actually, that’s a very good idea You might consider it It is something that many people take into account – consciously or otherwise, when choosing a place to live Nowadays the police are required to keep quite detailed statistics on crime and you can get them fairly easily I mean, it’s easy enough to ask for them, but it might take a while for the police to get them to you Klara: OK I’ll make a note of that – contact police for crime statistics Professor: Now, I have to say that I found the middle part more difficult to get through Klara: Oh! I thought I had done that rather well Professor: Don't worry, it's not awful It's just that, well, try to take a uniform approach Use one for each criteria people Use when choosing housing That way you're comparing like, with like rather than different things Clara: I see, so I should stick with one as far as possible Yes, that does seem logical So I don't really need to get more data or write much more Instead, I need to change I've got it Professor: It just makes it a lot easier to read That's the main thing Clara: Yes, of course How about the conclusion? Professor: Based on the information you’ve provided, I think that you’ve done very well You’ll have to see if the new information you include changes your conclusion, at all It probably won’t make a big difference but you might see variations in some areas Clara: Okay Do you think that I used appropriate headings and, is the bibliography, okay? I know that a lot of professors look long and hard at that, whilst most students think it's unimportant Professor: Yes, professors find the bibliography very useful It tells us where you are getting your information from and whether those sources are appropriate Your bibliography is fine But you might consider changing the format Here's a printout of the most widely accepted format You can keep that Clara: Thank you and the headings? Professor: I made a few notes Here are some suggestions Don't feel that you have to use them I won't be offended But some of your headings are long-winded whereas others are relatively short as they should be Clara: Thank you I'll take a look at these later Professor: How long did you work on the whole thing? Clara: Well, two months, perhaps on average of three hours a day Not more than that Probably, a 150 hours Professor: That's about what I would recommend Anything less than a hundred and twenty hours is going to be detrimental to the project You'll probably need another 50 hours, work on it in total You've still got a month So you should manage it easily Clara: Yes a couple of hours a day, easy Professor: I'd suggest that you come back to see me in, oh, about let's say three weeks time Then you should be virtually finished and I can have another look before you your final proofreading, before handing it in Clara: Okay I'll see you after one of the seminars to make an appointment Is that okay? Professor: Certainly! Thanks Clara Clara: Thank you, professor PART 4: For many Australians, face masks are among the most visible symbols of the pandemic The country of 25 million people has had some of the world’s toughest disease control measures Its borders were closed to most foreign nationals for two years, and strict lockdowns were imposed Mask mandates were also introduced, along with vaccination orders for key workers, including medical staff and teachers Many of the restrictions have been lifted, though Starting Friday, the states of New South Wales and Queensland, along with the Australian Capital Territory, which is the administrative region that surrounds the nation’s capital, Canberra, will lift mask mandates at airports Western Australia will follow Saturday There have been no announcements on the lifting of the face covering orders from the South Australian or Victorian governments Catherine Bennett, the chair in epidemiology at Deakin University, says it is time for the mask mandates to end “Airports aren’t sufficiently different to the rest of our experience, you know, whether you go to the local shops or you are going into your workplace We now, wherever we are, whether it is at the airport or not, we have to be conscious of our exposure So, it is important the messaging around the removal of masks isn’t like, oh, we don’t have to worry about that anymore It is saying airports, you know, are now not a special case because our risk is across the board We need to be as careful everywhere.” However, other epidemiologists believe it is a “retrograde step” because Australia is, on average, reporting about 30,000 new coronavirus infections and up to 40 deaths each day Adrian Esterman is the chair in biostatistics and epidemiology at the University of South Australia “I think it is a bad move I mean, at least we still have to wear masks on flights in Australia, but even that has been removed in Europe and America You know, what is happening is that the state and territory governments are telling everyone that it is all over, that life can go back to normal, we don’t have to worry about anything and, of course, it’s not over.” Australia has diagnosed about 7.7 million coronavirus infections during the pandemic, according to government data More than 9,000 people have died Ninety-five percent of the population over 16 years of age have had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine About 70% have had a third booster shot ... face covering orders from the South Australian or Victorian governments Catherine Bennett, the chair in epidemiology at Deakin University, says it is time for the mask mandates to end “Airports... reporting about 30,000 new coronavirus infections and up to 40 deaths each day Adrian Esterman is the chair in biostatistics and epidemiology at the University of South Australia “I think it is a bad
